font-family:Arial'>Does anyone see a (worthwhile) benefit to enhancing our
subject-matching capabilities to allow hierarchical subject-ids and some
pattern-matching? Subjects would be transmitted as character strings
rather than 2-byte numbers, and subscribers would be able to specify some sort
of regular-expression format.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

Attitude.sun_sensor</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

asking for it. Still, it seems like something worth considering. Does
anyone have an opinion?</span></font></p>
